'The Crazies' Heads to Blu-ray in June

While there's still no word on when we might see a DVD or Blu-ray version of Breck Eisner's remake of George Romero's The Crazies here in the States, an alert Dread Central reader has spotted a listing for the film on Amazon Canada.

If the online retailer is to be believed, the disc will be available for purchase on June 29th. Extra features listed include audio commentary, The Romero Template featurette, Paranormal Pandemics featurette, a behind-the-scenes featurette, a Rob Hall Makeup featurette, and a still gallery.

Eisner's re-interprtetation stars Timothy Olyphant as the sheriff of Ogden Marsh. When a mysterious toxin enters the water supply, the residents of the small town turn into homicidal maniacs. The film garnered lots of positive buzz -- particularly for a horror film remake -- and currently has a 71% fresh rating over at Rottentomatoes.com.

Our own Luke Mullen enjoyed the film as well. Check out his review and keep it here for more news on when The Crazies will infect your DVD player.
